I have decided that the nose is the ugliest part of the human body. A floppy protrusion of cartilage right in the middle of the face. And then when I heard that the human nose never stops growing even as people get old, I couldn't help but cringe. What a visual. Most people's noses are too big for them to start with!
Also, some are crooked, some are blobby, some bulge out, some are greasy, and some get warts on them. Did you ever notice that if someone gets a zit on his nose, you find yourself looking at it more than you would if it was on the side of the face? And some men get hair growing out of their noses! No, I don't mean a mustache. I mean dark hairs that look almost like a mess of eyelashes growing out of the inside of the nose. One man I know trims his quite often. Gross.
And then there's mothers telling their children to blow their noses instead of pick them. Why do noses get boogers anyway? Are they somehow connected to burgers? And then when someone gets sick, it's either a runny nose or a stuffed up one. And bloody noses are common too. So many problems with having a nose!
Hair, mucus, blood, sneezing, sensitivity, bad smells, allergies, connection to the eyes, ears, and throat - and some people wish he could change his nose with somebody else's nose? Really? The only redeeming quality about having a nose is that it would be next to impossible to breathe without one. And breathing is kind of important.
And there's a lot of jokes out there about the nose. Maybe it's not such a bad thing after all. Who nose?
